I chuckled at the part where Steele was picked up from St Kilda - well done.

Don't cough.

Oh christ the timing. Kentfield felled with a blow to the head in a marking contest just a minute or so before lightning stops play.

Who?

Weitering had two players land on top of him while lying sideways after slipping under a marking contest. Being stretchered off.

I should have also said that I do not know the current status of May.

My mail is that it still follows April. 👍

Poor Hamish only got to Perisher 10 times last season. 🤣

Very well done - kudos to the marketing/media team.

Never heard of bad bunny but I'm sure his political views are just as tedious as kid rocks.

Personally, i prefer my favoured artists to stay away from politics. I liked early U2 music, but jesus wept, Bono is such a dose i find it hard to separate him from the music.

Early non-political U2 music... like Sunday Bloody Sunday?

I don't expect it will ever happen, but if a team that finishes 10th actually goes on to win the Premiership...it will kill off the wildcard round. Why? Because there will be an outcry that a team that likely only won about half the games in the home and away season shouldn't be considered a better team than those that won around 80% (18 out of 23 is 78%). It will make a mockery of the whole season.

Having a final 8 with 18 teams already makes a mockery of the system - entertainment dollars winning over integrity. 8th-placed team might have won only 55% or so of their games vs top-4 teams losing only a handful. Why do we have a 5-month long H&A season to eliminate only 10 (soon to be 8) of the 18 teams from contention? One in which teams neither play each other once or twice, but a contrived combination of both?

Don’t we have funds from sale of gambling facilities?

We may have to use that while we chase other sources.

Pretty sure that went into the Club's future fund, that according to statements at the recent AGM wouldn't be used for this project.

Any whispers from the big meeting that was supposed to happen today? (Or is it still going?)

It does my head in because the only sport I watch on Kayo is AFL, yet it is by far my most expensive streaming service.

It beggars belief how bad Kayo's picture quality is. What intrigues me is live the quality is average at its best. But watch the same game on replay and it is considerably better Why? I watch NBL on Kayo and it is good as well why AFL?

Presuming they are streaming at a lower bitrate as there'd be a lot of simultaneous demand for the live stream (putting more pressure on servers), whereas replays are not all watched simultaneously.

Honestly, the amount of money being splashed around on these training centres makes me sick. $110M is like 1/10th of what Tassie are proposing to build an entire stadium. People are arcing up about the money being spent on the Tassie stadium, but not excessive Taj Mahal type training facilities of the Hawks, Essendon, Geelong,Collingwood etc.

All this money being splashed around, while country and suburban footy scrapes for funds.

The AFL need to put in-place some kind of equalisation measure and cap on excessive facilities development. Obviously the big clubs have already cashed in, so they need to impose a tax on the to provide a similar level of amenities for those that haven't yet.

It's pretty sad to see the state of many of the suburban club grounds and their facilities, let alone further out.

Thank christ for your pronunciation guide there Ghosty. I would have gone with something problematic like Ay-oy-ff or worse otherwise.

Seriously do you think players come off the ground for a slash in games same in training.

Except they are in the rooms with toilet access before the game and at half time, plus having the ability to dart down to the rooms while rotating through the bench. At training at Gosch's they are hundreds of metres from toilets while sometimes doing multi-hour sessions.

It is a disgrace that the only facilities at their disposal is a open sided shelter partially covered with a zip-tied screen and not even a porta-loo.

That's my future coach rearranging my Dad's face guys not lieing. *awkward*

Is it too cynical to view this as the new club leadership front-loading poor financials for a more positive spin in future years?

separate topic…

Anyone else experiencing connection problems with Demonland?

Yes, getting quite a lot of CloudFlare commection timed out pages coming up. Not sure if that's due to traffic given interest in the draft, or residual from a global issue CloudFlare's systems had last night.

Just now, red and blue forever said:

if you miss the timer for your pick, do you just get no one?

That would be hilarious 🤣. Like getting timed out in cricket taking too long to get to the middle.

I might go and watch Titanic and hopefully once that finishes we might be nearly up to our first pick.

Edo was walking on air. She’s itching to get back out there on Saturday.

I made a request to her. It was about a former Dees player who now plays for North and what I’d like Edo to do to her. I barely finished the sentence when she emphatically said, “[censored] oath I will!” 😂

Thst one should be high on our hit lisp
